Command to eject a USB Mass storage device

[Paul]

Hi all,

Is there a command in XP, where u can
double on an icon / shortcut, and stop / eject a USB Mass storage device?

I know the Safely remove hardware icon
appears in the taskbar.

But can u make a shortcut to one of the devices on the desktop, so when u
double click on it, it'll stop / eject that device??

Any info appreciated

Thanx

Hi,

To automate this, you can use deveject.exe available here (includes
C++ source code as well):

ftp://ftp.heise.de/pub/ct/listings/0316-208.zip

For help, run deveject.exe /? in a command prompt.

Works for Windows 2000/XP/2003.


An example using the EjectName command line switch:
deveject.exe -EjectName:"USB Mass Storage Device"
